hi! i'm 18f, 175cm (5'9) tall and my cw is 90kg (198lbs i think). ive been overweight pretty much my whole life, i think ever since i started school. now, my heaviest weight was 93kg (205lbs) and i measured that on august 4th. that day i decided to change some things in my lifestyle/habits and try to lose some weight. now, I've measured myself weekly from that point. i lost 2kg(4lbs) the first week, 1kg(2lbs) the week after. it was slow and that's how i expected it to be. then, i measured myself again today and i haven't lost any. now, I don't feel awful or hate myself for it since I don't let numbers on the scale define me, but it just feels shitty because it's not working. now, when it comes to how i try to lose weight, I'm in a bit of a strange situation:
my 13 year old little sister used to have an ED, and still falls into disordered behaviors sometimes. it's very intense when i start dieting. she's very thin and even taller than me, not exaggerating when i say she's built like a model. still, she has lots of problems with body image. so, when i start eating less, so does she, and that's really bad for her. i avoid all sorts of calorie talk, never mention them or look at that in a product when she's watching. i never talk about my weight or progress or use any negative language about my body even when I'm not really feeling great. we don't even go to cafes anymore since I don't want to order like i used to (sweet, highly caloric stuff) which means she doesn't want to do that either.
the second thing is that my mom makes our food. she wants me to diet, has forced me so many times i lost count, but this time it was my decision. I'd say we eat pretty healthy, but it's just ordinary food and i eat almost everything. the thing is that i just eat in small portions i try to be intuitive about it. ive just been eating very little and no snacks in-between meals. i feel very good about that even outside of the weightloss thing.
the third thing would be exercise. now, i can't buy a gym membership and my parents wouldn't want to pay for that. i basically just walk every day, usually around 8k steps. i also take my sister to those since she wants to go, so I can't really overdo it. it burns some calories and actually makes me feel good. i genuinely hate working out so much, it really just makes me feel awful. i don't have my own room, so it's super annoying when i have to do it with my sister around and borrow her yoga mat. i don't have any equipment either so many things are out of the question. i don't know if i need to start some sort of home workouts now in order to make any progress.
I don't count my calories, like, strictly, but i have an idea of how much i eat. i think it's around 1500 daily and by walking i burn up to 400 if we are to trust the samsung health app.
i just don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's just normal that I don't lose any weight in a week. I've been feeling really good physically and mentally with my current state, but my results are weak and it bums me. what do i do?
